Life Academy

The LIFE Academy is a post high school program that is needed to complete IEP goals. We focus on adult skills and behaviors. We aim for our students to have a social network of personally meaningful relationships, to be safe and healthy, to have a variety of places to engage in meaningful activities, to teach functional academics and vocational skills related to work and life. We refer to our LIFE philosophy as students succeed in adulthood with individualized expectations in the classroom and in the community.

What does LIFE stand for?

L stands for learning. We concentrate on learning skills necessary for your student to be successful in their adult life.

I stands for independence. We work at making your student as independent as they can be. We teach the students skills about responsible adult decisions and expect this from them. Natural consequences are the best achievement tool that we can use.

F stands for fun. We want our students to be socially appropriate and look at activities that they can do after the L.I.F.E. Academy. We want to teach them how be appropriate in a variety of social situations.

E stands for employment. We assess and teach the skills necessary to be successful in the working world. We aim to have the experiences that are realistic but also have high expectations.
